Twitter: Stephen Jones on Malik Davis Hip Injury "Could be out some time"

[blueblood70]

Demarcado plays STs.

I think maybe people are glossing over the fact that OC Adams Brought this guy over because he can do all that stuff play special teams very good blocker he's probably a better running back than Davis We don't know that yet but he has a relationship with a guy who helped design the run plays in Arizona you remember why we were so excited to get Adams over here Between Riley Adams and Schottenheimer I'm pretty sure this guy was high on their list or they would not have cut Phil and blue to bring him over..

I also like Israel and there's people all over Twitter yelling and screaming and kicking their feet that the Cowboys didn't do enough bringing another running back in they didn't address the running back room over this loss is insane some of y'all have lost your mind.

Meanwhile there's some teams out there that are starting backups at QB, The Cowboys were talking about the backup running back and there are teams out there that don't even have a quarterback they have like 3 backup quarterbacks we're talking about the Atlanta Falcons and teams like that they have no idea what's happening with key positions and we're crazy talking about practice That's right I just use that but RB 2..LOL

I like Davis but isn't like we just lost Javante Williams but yes we are a play away from that but again we're talking about the running back room and a very well designed run game This offense runs through the run game because the offensive line and the way they have designed the blocking schemes are very run friendly..

There's a reason Williams wanted to stay here he felt appreciated but he really likes the offense he gave the Cowboys a discount if you look at the way all the other running backs got paid I believe it's because of our offensive coaches and our scheme it is very run friendly..

Think about this when Sanders went down he was RB 2 last year The Cowboys just kept moving along like people forgot he was even on the team That's the same thing here I believe will be fine now if something does happen to Williams the Cowboys can go out and take a running back off a practice squad or make a small trade for a guy who's unhappy i'm looking over there in AZ, was in Atlanta that backup running back is really good and he's really unhappy..

I realize right now that he's named the starting running back but when love gets back this dude is gonna be unhappy again he was behind Bijan Robinson or someone like him but there's also a couple that Adams likes that are on Arizona's IR right now the the Cowboys can go after them at some point this season they'll probably be released once they're healthy I can't remember the name but you guys were talking about one of the guys but the other one is James Connor so yes there are options out there at running back the Cowboys are not worried about it and neither am I long as we have Williams and Hunter and somebody to back them up we are fine..

Yeah but what for I did not read it but everything has a healing time that's different it could just be a small hit pointer it could be some cartilage I've had hernia surgery and was back doing sports in 30 days literally like it never happened so some surgeries are different from others I know it sounds bad but that doesn't mean he won't be back...

However there's no need to bring him back everyone's acting like somehow he was the missing piece and that our season's over because he got hurt I believe the guys that were right there with him we pretty much the same there wasn't a real gap Emari the only reason he didn't get the starting job for the backup it's because he just came in but I believe the Cowboys think he's probably better..


And as far as worrying about the depth look if Williams gets hurt this is the way I'm looking at it Didn't we both think that maybe Benson and or Connor would be good additions to this team because of Adams just like this other kid Arizona's doing us a favor they stashed both these guys on IR until they get healthy and they probably going to get released or you can trade something small for them they're literally sitting there on hold in case that happens to the Cowboys one of those two guys there's your solution If something catastrophic happens to Williams everything else after him I am not that worried..rb2, It's not that hard to replace..

Nothing against Davis I like him and it sucks for him but II truly believe there isn't that big a gap between Davis Emari or Israel, I mean I thought Israel had something in camp..

Jsut sucks for Malik. Last year he finally got his shot after being on the practice squad and got jabbed in the eye and was out on IR

Now this. Dude can’t catch a break

Looks like some guys dont have the luck or karma . I was happy he was finding his place on the team after being in / out many times and serious injury in practice ? Go figure

Yup.

Likely the end of his playing career.

It's a good thing they kept some depth at RB...oh, wait.

Just kidding. But serious question, how do you get hurt in a Friday practice? Isn't Friday just a walk-through day?

It definitely happened without contact.

Eatman:

Friday's outdoor practice at The Star was non-contact and was considered slightly a step-above a walk-through practice.
